Abstract

In a simple, one‐step direct trifluoromethylation of phenazine with CF 3 I we prepared and characterized nine (poly)trifluoromethyl derivatives with up to six CF 3 groups. The electrochemical reduction potentials and gas‐phase electron affinities show a direct, strict linear relation to the number of CF 3 groups, with phenazine(CF 3 ) 6 reaching a record‐high electron affinity of 3.24 eV among perfluoroalkylated polyaromatics.
